HOME PARK STUDIO 2022
Previous Planning Recommendations
To build on existing planning work done in Home Park, six previous plans were studied, generating a survey of previous
transportation recommendations. A total of twelve projects were identied. These projects were placed into a tabular
ranking based on the number of plans they appeared in, whether they were specically identied as a priority, and
their ongoing relevance to issues identied in this planning effort. This process helped support the selection of project
recommendations to be included in this report.
